    How do LOW-COST CARBON FIBER SHAFTS Perform Compared to the Best?

    In general, I think comparing shafts of the same brand between different diameters, and/or different brands of the same diameter is most relevant and useful. A 12.5 of one brand vs a 11.8 of another seems to be the least valuable comparison.

    How do LOW-COST CARBON FIBER SHAFTS Perform Compared to the Best?

    Most concerning to me is the difference in how the Revo performed between tests. I know in the video you said you thought it was the cloth wearing in more, but didn't you just do another test video with the Revo within the last couple weeks that was more similar to previous tests? If so, did the...

    The CARBON FIBER Shaft With the LEAST Cue Ball DEFLECTION

    I'm happy to send along a Cynergy 10.5 for testing. I can even put on a tip of choice for consistency between shafts. I'd have to let others volunteer other shafts.

    Most popular Carbon fiber shaft size?

    I (perhaps incorrectly) assume that people here are among the more fanatic of pool players. I suspect in a real world study across all pool players who buy CF that 12.5/12.4 would win even more handily than it is appearing to here.

    Mosconi 2026 and Orlando

    Holiday weekend, so I guess it makes sense. "Hey, all, let's go to Disney World for Thanksgiving this year!" They really should hold the MC a week later. I'm not going to be able to convince extended family to all go convene in Florida for Thanksgiving, and I can't really give up the once a...

    Mosconi 2026 and Orlando

    I really wanted to go this year. But having it start the day after Thanksgiving is just completely untenable for me. I'm actually quite shocked at the timing, although I understand it probably allows for much more attractive venue pricing.

    GO - CUSTOM Snooker (10mm) Review

    How goes it with the 10mm GO custom? You were using it for pool?

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    As for the actual topic...I hit with an 11.8 Becue shaft for about 30 mins at a vendor booth last year. It was by far my favorite CF shaft I've ever hit with. It was the perfect combination of stiffness and feel/feedback. By that point, I was already playing with a 10.5, which is a strong...

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    I wish. Both my shafts have green Recoils. Both have needed scuffing every 4-5hrs of play. I bought their own scuffer and then I needed scuffing every 2-3 hrs. It was ridiculous. I've found the Willard's tool works best--probably can push it to 7-8.

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    I saw that video. I play with a 10.5 and thought "oh, perfect." Got my tips shaped to a dime radius and...miscued too much. They've since flattened/been reshaped to a nickel and I'm back to normal. I'll have to rewatch that video to see how rigorously he made that determination.

    Tony/Skyler trivia question

    Wow you are pompous and condescending. You already provide the ability to split 7' and 9' in your own app. Although, admittedly, most reported games don't seem to have that distinction marked.

    Solid vs layered tips

    Just wait till it glazes over. They're worse than solid-leather tips, at twice the price!

    Predator's WPA Women's World 9 Ball

    Yeah, one of the matches the ref must have spent a solid 5mins trying to get a tight rack for one of the games. I wanted to punch a hole in my TV. Just use a damn template. I think the next step in Predator's saturation marketing strategy is to change every word in the English language to...
